WyoSports.com sports writer Alex Taylor joins host Mike McFeely to chat about a column Alex wrote for his newspaper: "Will Wyoming and North Dakota State be Mountain West rivals?"

All signs point to "yes" since both programs need a conference rivalry since college football realignment has shaken up the landscape. Wyoming lost Colorado State to the Pac-12 (even though they'll play non-conference games for at least a decade) and NDSU lost South Dakota State, which remains in FCS.

Many seem to believe this will be a good matchup, and Alex and Mike are no different. They explain why.

The news broke on Friday, Feb. 6, that North Dakota State was in serious discussions to the join the Mountain West Conference as a football-only member. It became official three days later when the school and league announced the invitation had been extended and accepted.

It's been about 12 weeks, nearly three months, since the news broke and a whirlwind of activity was set in motion from the league, the school and the local media.

Podcast host and Forum columnist Mike McFeely, WDAY-TV sports reporter and voice of the Bison Dom Izzo and The Forum's NDSU beat writer Jeff Kolpack sat down to discuss the hectic three months and give their impressions now that spring football is finished and (some) things will slow down for a while.
